Rites of Passage

Editors of Hinduism Today

For the hindu, life is a sacred journey;
and every step from birth to death is
marked, and thus acknowledged, through traditional ceremony, called samskara. A samskara is an enduring impression etched into the malleable
substance of a persons mind at a psychological point in life. During these Hindu rites of passage, a temple or home ceremony deeply influences
the soul and directs life along the path of dharma.
